And now in these troubled times,
the weather too is changing
as if the universe comprehends
how humanity is failing
When a black raging storm is coming
animals instinctively know
it’s time to run for safety
as turbulent dust – heavy winds blow
And though we also run and hide,
we hardly ever realize
we are to blame
for these dark oppressive times
And so Mother Earth will keep turning,
growing hotter and hotter
as we continue to pollute and abuse
our precious sources of water
The violent tempests will become
more fierce with each passing year
until mankind pays the cost and
loses what was once held dear
Yet the fragrance of the blooming red rose
will continue to scent the air
and the lone grey Mockingbird will press on,
singing without any cares
Nature and it’s creatures of land and sea,
and all that implies
will live on long after ~
we have taken our last gasping breath and died

A poignantly profound prophecy which sadly and probably will turn out to be true….

And now, as the season’s change
Our whole world changes with them
From good to bad, happy to sad
Our environment is troubled
And yet, we seem not concerned at all
Regardless of our inevitable fall…
many thanks to you Linda, for writing as Ivor said such ” a poignantly profound prophecy”…its a delight to see there are those who still care about the state of our predicament.
